Wisconsin Police "Investigating" Photo of High School Class "Seig Heil," Where Is The Crime?

The assault on free speech rages as the Baraboo, Wisconsin Police Department has announced that they're “investigating” a photograph of a White high school class giving a “Sieg Heil,” which went viral on social media.

While some are quick to condemn the photograph as being <i>tasteless</i>, we're left to ask what crime these upstanding and law-abiding citizens are guilty of committing?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">100% protected by the 1st. See Tinker v.

In fact, their behavior is completely legal. <a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/393/503/"> Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District 393 U.S. 503 (1969) </a>writes, "Students do not shed their Constitutional Rights to Freedom of Speech or Expression at the schoolhouse gate.”

The basis for the claims of an “investigation” by the Baraboo Police Department is mind-boggling, as it lacks any legal justification.

<i>Baraboo School District and Police Department are investigating a photo posted on Twitter that shows boys in the class of 2019 giving a “Seig Heil,” or Nazi Salute.</i>

Police are now officially “investigating” non-crimes in America.

The crime here would be that someone is sharing photographs of underage children without their parent's consent.

But it's not as if they're dog-whistling for Antifa violence, committing slanderous libel against these fragile young people's lives, right?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This kid dead-center is literally doing the &quot;white power okay sign&quot;. <a href="https://t.co/qyHnf1GzRt">pic.twitter.com/qyHnf1GzRt</a></p>&mdash; Jules Suzdaltsev (@jules_su) <a href="https://twitter.com/jules_su/status/1061865883042242560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 12, 2018</a></blockquote>

Oh. So, now they're racists. Now they're promoting “White power.”

This liberal hypocrisy is beyond infringing upon the rights of Americans, and they're expecting the public to respond with condemnation of these children.

We've seen similar behavior against the administrative staff of educational facilities.

In Connecticut, Assistant professor of business and economics Charles Meyrick at Housatonic Community College was said to have held his right arm in a Nazi Salute, resulting in his suspension.

The fact of the matter is controversial speech is not illegal. There is no Hate-Speech exception to the First Amendment right of “Freedom of Speech.”

There's nothing illegal about giving a “Seig Heil,” regardless of <i>who</i> it offends.

Where do we draw the lines? A group of “teens” shouting Black Lives Matter burn down an entire inner city block, and nobody bats an eye. A group of White kids gives a harmless salute in a photograph, and the world loses its mind.

Those lines are already drawn. It's called freedom of speech.
